Holy shit. I love this place!
 
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

I don't get why everyone is saying PS4 when it looks much more like a PS3/Vita game.

Joking? This looks way better than Dark Souls II pre-downgrade, let alone the final, gutted game.

Exclusivity is also great, we will receive a truly tailor made experience. The Souls series would not have existed without the collaboration with Sony Japan Studio and if Sony had not been so stupid with the IP, we wouldn't even be having a discussion about multiplatform possibilities.

Didn't Yoshida insist that Sony still has Demon's Souls IP recently?

Sony has always owned the Demon Souls IP.


I'm not quite ready to believe this until Sony or From Software confirm it and it's announced for PS4. I would be happy to eat some crow and apologize to Verendus. Demon Souls is still the best of the three games imo.
 
Is DemonNite a developer or something? Or are we just trusting him?

Obviously, this being Gaf, I don't think you'd take a random person on their word, I'd just like to know.

Kinda odd to already have a trailer made no? It is/was something for E3 most likely.
Not at all, The Last Guardian's trailer was at least fifteen months old when it leaked.

I can't see them saving this for TGS, the show is a complete joke at this point, even Japan isn't particularly important, and now it's leaked, there's no reason to pretend it's a secret.

People are disappointed that there's another exclusive Souls game after two of them were multi-plat, and that's understandable.
Still, with Sony helping they'll probably be able to push out a more solid product.

Sony did a great job on securing such an exclusive title because I will buy a PS4 the day this game will come out...simple as that.

I'm getting tired of seeing people bitching about 3rd party exclusives. Moneyhats, funding or whatever I don't give a fuck, just give me interesting looking games and I'll buy the fuckin' system they are on.
 
DS2 huh? Plz be easier and less tedious, I really like the enemy and level designs but only like watching people play.

And damn, Sony has really been having good news leading up to E3.
 
I want a steady stream of Souls games to just always be coming out.

Franchise fatigue be damned. Make it a yearly release and I will buy it every damn year.

If I ever post something in Japanese which I don't understand, please BAN me.

He works for Sony.

He's a confirmed SCEI employee, and yes we can trust him since he doesn't leak anything directly since it could endanger his job.

When are you guys expecting it to release?

Considering that DemoNite hinted at it's reveal already at last E3, i can see it coming out in first half of 2015, say May/June.
Not this year cuz they alreasy had DS2, and probably dlc later?

Don't want to be devil's advocate again,

but do we have any tangible proof this is actually real ?
Fake teasers go a long way iirc.


It might be another game's trailer with added "from software" and the fog doog screen could be faked (the protagonist is different) .

Sony owns "Demons' Souls" and the design contained within it. So a logical sequel of sorts makes perfect sense.

I doubt From would be willing to develop something so similar to their current Dark Souls franchise.

The rumors pointing to this being a spiritual successor with very different gameplay makes a lot of sense in that regard.
 
I'd like to think they're sacrificing visual fidelity for framerate et al. Completely unsubstantiated BS, but a man can dream.

What sacrifice?

These are just blurry captures dude

You can tell there is a lot of detail and its just being blurred by the shit quality shots

DemonNite = Sony (well PlayStation) as far as gaf is concerned.

You obviously didn't heard about him then. He's supposed to work at Sony and is one of the most knowledgable insiders, but he rarely spills some concrete infos.

The Souls series always have customizable characters and I doubt a trailer would feature only a single character the whole time.
 
Mort has been suggesting that this is in fact a new IP and the ambition is to take the Souls concept to the next step the way the Souls games expanded on the kings field games.

I won't link it here but you know where to go if you want to take a look.

So in a way, you could call this a money hat, but honestly doesn't sound even the Bayo 2,situation. This game just wouldn't be made without Sony and is an actual collaboration.

I am all for it!

Keep changing things up and keep it fresh i say
